Game Day Preliminary Final: Port Adelaide vs Richmond

[gbear]

Finally it is game day! I am so nervous, but excited. Come on Port, your destiny awaits.

It seems it might be wet tonight after all - would we expect anything different for a Port home game?

 

[PowerLil]

Give no quarter. Go Ports ❤
Edit - not working today. Having morning coffee. Starting to feel a bit nervous. Heading to Home Ground for pre's at 4.30. Shout out to daughter who's living in Vic and can't attend the game. She's been a nervous wreck all week!

Should be nothing or next to nothing by the time the game starts

Too late now but you should have had a bottle of red or a 6 pack last night. Enough to send you to sleep but not enough to give you a hangover. Still gong to be a long day though.

Just remember we got to sleep in our own beds!!!!!

For anyone worried about Tom Lynch after he absolutely mauled Dougal Howard last week.

He kicked 1.0 last time we played (no Dougal)

3.4 before that (with Dougal on him)

6.2 before that (with Dougal on him)

0.0 before that (no Dougal)

I have a feeling I'm going to be a lot less productive at work than usual today.

So pumped and nervous for this, I'm pretty glad it's a Friday and I've got work to somewhat distract me until tonight.

I reckon Port and Richmond match up well, it'll be an even contest, so the winner will be wherever the X factor comes from. Last game was the Motlop show. I'm calling this one to be Dixon's biggest game. No more 2.4 or 3.3 or anything like that. Just a big, 6 goal, key forward performance. I wanna see that first pump and the double first pump in action. Now is the time.

Port by 4 points.
Dixon 6 goals and BOG

I am not working today, so the day will go so slow. Planning on cleaning the house again, as that worked for the QF. Get to pick the eldest up early as she has been on her first 3 day camp. Should have her in bed before I leave for the game!

If Dixon kicks 6.0 we’ll win by a hell of a lot more than 4 points .

Dreamt we killed them,
In the last quarter we were 79 to 45 - specifically remember those numbers

 

[Munro88]

It's gonna be a long ass day.
Sleeping would help, but I'm not sure if I can.

14!

Yikes!

Feeling just as confident about this one as I was before the Geelong game.

 

[Forzaport]

Such a loooooong day ahead...

 

[ibd77]

The pain...the agony...the anticipation...the wait. This going to be the most hostile Port crowd of all time. Might need the riot police tonight.

 

[MaxPowa]

Punt road flogs to be caught out pushing too many pencils in the Hub with Port to win in style.


Actual footage of their post match melts as we GET TO THE GF CHOPPER.

 

[Smartys Power]

Don’t remember the last time I was this nervous for a game.

Get it done Ports!

 

[Chokito]

LETS *ing GOOOOO

had the worst sleep argh

 

[Nelso]

I am feeling very calm

Confident that we can get the job done.

Just bring the noise and we will get the lads over the line.

 

[Byron!!!]

European bed time soon. 4 alarms set to ensure morning chores are done before the pregame coverage. Probably won’t sleep much at all though.

Coming into this year I was expecting a repeat of recent seasons. Win about half our games, maybe just make the finals and if we did get kicked out early.

But this is a different team. Playing a much better style of footy. Too defensive last year - it was frustrating to watch the slow build-ups and kicks to the boundary line. This year it's more attacking - more corridor style and centre-ing the ball in our forward line. And you can see the self-belief amongst the players in the game plan.

I know that we're good enough to beat Richmond. I'm expecting a nerve racking tight contest, and in tight contests the result can go either way.

I've gone from a non-believer to a believer in the space of a year.
